More likely that the giant snake is in a coil around you and with every breath you exhale, you realize that you can't inhale back in. This goes on until you lose consciousness due to asphyxiation. You won't be awake or perhaps even alive by the time the snake decides to start swallowing you.

Yes. Contrary to what some Americans think, the rest of the world isn't ruled by the US and their often ridiculous laws don't apply. For instance in this case, neither the code nor the community discussions have anything to do directly with Nintendo. In addition, emulators and reverse engineering are perfectly legal in many places. There are plenty of jurisdictions where such frivolous and preemptive copyright strikes won't even be tolerated.

They are suing them. It's just that the courts aren't as enthusiastic about dispensing justice in case of the executives as they were with the sub postmasters.

Stop right there, Jio Tan! The same trick doesn't work twice.

They probably started with the inkjets. More so, considering that inkjets have turned into a money grabbing scam. You're better off with a laser printer if you need only B&W.

Why exactly do normal people with small defaults have 'collection agents' sent after them, while billion dollar defaults are written off? Isn't that supposed to be the other way around?

Don't overthink it. Just publish. And as for entitled users, remember that you don't owe them. If anyone insists on a feature, tell them that you can prioritize them for the right fee.

Void Linux for the arch and gentoo crowd. It's a system that can be assembled more cohesively.

Nix and Guix - the ideas they bring to the table are revolutionary. I prefer Guix due to its use of Scheme (guile). But Nix is more mature and has more packages.

That usually isn't a problem as long as they keep it to themselves and away from the community. There are many Foss developers who are like that - they don't cause a controversy. This one seems to be different and openly toxic.

Human greed is the worst thing this planet has ever produced.

Big platforms like Facebook, Digg, Twitter and Reddit don't fail in a day. Their decline is rather gradual. If you noticed any decline on Reddit's quality after the API lockdown, then that's the beginning of a gradual slide. Just wait for a while before judging the results.
